Summary
"Coupling existential themes with politics and psychology, this unique book tells the story of Iranian political refugees, through case studies and Armin Danesh's own life story. All the refugees presented here were politically engaged and suffered as a consequence, but this book demonstrates people's capacity to transform themselves through crisis"-- Provided by publisher.
